The Official The Sims 3 Gothique Library Download

The Sims 3 Store

Custom content for “The Sims 3" can be purchased at the official online store. This includes all of the official content that works for the games and generally won’t cause stability issues when playing the game. This includes everything from The Sims 3 sexy clothes, hairstyles, objects, and sets of items.

There is also new content that includes additional gameplay to the game that is available for purchase and download. The first set like this is The Sims 3 Gothique Library which includes the item that Sims can use to learn and cast spells. It is likely that more additions will be able to be purchased this way in the future, so if spells aren’t your thing, keep checking in with the official store.

The custom content that you can download for free on other websites, such as Mod the Sims is great, but it hasn’t been reviewed by EA and will sometimes cause crashes or cause your game to not update properly. Use those types of downloads at your own risk.

Community Lots

In The Sims 3 neighborhoods there are different types of lots. The zoning areas determine what you can place on that lot. If it is residential, only houses can be placed there for Sims to move into. If it is a community venue, it is a specific type of venue only that type can be placed there. For instance, a trendy The Sims 3 club can’t be placed on a lot zoned for a school.

Note: If you don’t have an open space for the new library, you can re-zone one that is open that will fit the new library in the “Edit Town" mode.

The Gothique Library

The new library is designed very well and makes for a beautiful addition to all of the regular neighborhoods in the game. It has five floors and even a basement area that has a fire-pit and water. There are fountains on the property and even a few headstones where Sims can mourn for deceased Sims or be spooked by The Sims 3 ghosts.

It is designed with the new items included in the set except for the “Lady Ravendancer Goth’s Book o’ Spells." If this is something you want to add into the venue, go ahead and add it. Doing this will help save your Sims a large amount of money! The basement area is a perfect spot for this new item!

There are of course a large amount of bookcases in the library. There are no computers, but it is a great place to go to study because just being inside of it gives the “Power Study" moodlet that makes learning or reading more efficient. There are also a couple of chess tables for Sims to learn the logic skill with and fireplaces to help add to the ambiance of the venue.

If your Sim is there for an extended amount of time, there is also a full bathroom and even a bed for Sims to sleep on.

What is Included in the Purchase of the Gothique Library?

This new set is only available for purchase at The Sims 3 Store. It costs 1,200 SimPoints for the set. However, if you don’t want the whole set, you can purchase the objects separately. However, for the price, it isn’t a bad deal to just buy the set. Plus, the new library looks really great in the game!
